The Vesuvio Estates
Our Land
The 500-hectare Vesuvio Estates in the Paarl region of the Western Cape consists of three farms named Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi. At Vesuvio quality starts with our trees and is carried right through the production process. Olive groves, mostly of Frantoio and Leccino cultivars which are ideal for oil production, thrive over 90% of the cultivated land. Our olive trees are grown with love and care. An integrated pest management system ensures the most limited use of chemicals possible.
Quality processing
At harvest time, our olives are carefully selected and comb-picked by hand. This gentle treatment ensures top quality and preserves the integrity of the fruit, which is then transported to our state of the art oil extraction facility and processed within 12 hours of picking. We only use olives home-grown on the Estate to produce our award-winning Vesuvio Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Our fast, fresh processing ensures that we can moderate acidity levels optimally, uphold the perfect taste of the fruit and retain incredible health benefits that olives offer.
Award-winning Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Each season, our Oil Maker expertly gauges the ratios and delicately mixes Frantoio and Leccino cultivars to craft the outstanding taste of Vesuvio Extra Virgin Olive Oil – a perfect balance of fruitiness, a hint of appropriately attractive bitterness and optimal pungency. Our attention to detail and commitment to the integrity of superior quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil production has resulted in Vesuvio Estates consistently winning awards at prestigious international competitions.
